President Obama officially begins his second term this weekend. The inaugural ceremony and surrounding festivities will be smaller this time around, but countless people from all over the world will nonetheless tune in live – and once again, there will be plenty of opportunities to watch everything online or on your mobile devices.

Dates and times: The official swearing-in will occur Sunday at 11:55 a.m. ET (8:55 a.m. PT), and includes Chief Justice John Roberts swearing in President Obama at a ceremony at the White House.

However, the big bash that everyone is going to watch will be one day later: Monday, starting at 11:30 a.m. ET, President Obama and Vice President Biden will take part in the ceremonial swearing-in on the West Front of the capitol. That’s also when Obama is going to give his inaugural address.

American presidential inauguration occurs every four years and invites a spectacular amount of fanfare. The new president gets his own day of feasting, procession, statesmanship, and celebration. The United States marks its transition of government with a day of events that have developed over time to become our modern-day inauguration.

The theme of the 2013 Inauguration of President Barack Obama is “Faith in America's Future”, which recalls the installation of the Statue of Freedom on the Capitol Dome 150 years ago in 1863.
